There is indeed. It's fun to play Walter Mitty Vintage Racer and there are plenty of twisty roads to play on. One can find plenty of trouble at 72-1/2 mph and below, you just have to know where to look.

That said, this car is not about how fast it can go, it's how fuel efficiently it can go, and like most of my fellow ecomodders, I don't spend a very high percentage of my driving time going over 70--I'm proud of how well it goes at 55.
